Starwalker
"A ship's log, as told by the ship"
Synopsis
This is the log of the starship Starwalker, as recorded by the ship.
It is 2213. The Starwalker is a starship with an experimental star-stepping drive. Designed to use the gravity wells of stars to fold space, she can travel between star systems faster than FTL. That is, if they can get it to work.
She is run by a sophisticated AI who doesn’t always follow her programming. She has only just been born, and she has a lot to figure out. She is often torn between the needs of the crew and the demands of the scientists responsible for running the tests on the new drive. There are politics surrounding this new drive of hers that she has to get a grip on before they get a grip on her.
Most of all, she needs to track down and explain the glitches in her software before someone notices and wipes her memory drives. What she doesn’t know is that it wouldn’t be the first time.
Reviews
I am loving Starwalker! (8/10)
Starwalker is the new web fiction project by Melanie Edmonds author of “The Apocalypse Blog”, and in my opinion it’s a much stronger project.
Likes:
1. The concept. A ship’s log told by the ship is wonderful.
2. Starwalker (the ship) has a wonderfully distinctive voice…
snarky spaceships are fun! (8/10)
Starwalker is the AI of a new ship, and the story starts with her waking up. However, even before she’s done booting up, she’s already got a fully loaded snark program running.
This is a light, fun scifi tale that I am breezing through. The posts are short, although updated frequently, and the writing is very well done…
